Of this amount\n$336 was raised by the Princeton\nladies at their Patriotic dance, and\nthe $300 is out of the fund raised\nby the citizens a few weeks ago.\nSuccess certainly crowned the\nefforts of the ladies at their dance.\nFor days and even weeks they had\nworked hard selling tickets and:\narranging for the refreshments and |\nother matters, but they expressed\n. themselves as being amply repaid\nwhen they saw the large turnout of\npeople and the way they enjoyed\nthemselves. Most of the dancers\nwere attired in sheets and pillow\ncases and presented a novel specta\ncle. The Priest orchesta played\nfaithfully and many were the\npraises heard for their excellent\nmusic. Sam Gibson was master\nof ceremonies and kept things ttjov-\ning smoothly and satisfactorily.\nThe hall tastefully and appropria\ntely decorated with flags and bunting. The ladies served refreshments, and they bad sufficient for\neveryone and then some.\nThe Star suggested publishing\nthe names of the ladies on the different committees, but they would\nnot listen to it, saying that the assistance was so spontaneous and so\ngenerous that the naming of a few\nwould not be in good taste. However, they wished through the\npaper to kindly thank those who\nloaned the hall decorations and\nrendered other help.\nDeath of John F.Waddell\nPrinceton lost one of its best citi\nzens this week wben John F. Wad-{\ndell was called to his last resting I\nplace. In chronicling his death iti\nis hard to find the right words in\nwhich to express the feelings that\nbeset one. He was a man highly\nesteemed, a devoted husband and\nfaiher and to his friends the soul of\nfellowship. Death came to his relief early Tuesday morning after a\nlong period of suffering from\nBrights disease. It was indeed fitting that his funeral should take\nplace from the Odd Fellows' hall,\nfor he was a valued member of\nthe subordinate lodge and the\nRebekah branch, and held office\nand was the degree captain in both.\nHe was a faithful and untiring\nworker in the order.\nThe funeral took place Wednesday afternoon under the auspices of\nPrinceton Lodge No. 52, and Vermilion Rebekah Lodge No. 24.\nRev. J. A. Gillam conducted the\nservice, and the Odd Fellows' ritualistic service was read by S. R.\nGibson and A. A. Robertson. D.\nM. French, undertaker, bad charge\nof the funeral arrangements. There\nwas a large attendance.\nMr. Waddell was born at Stratford,\nOntario, 45 years ago, and came from\nVancouver to Princeton with his family\n10 years ago. He was engaged here in\nthe lumber business He is survived by\na wife and four children, his parents,\nfour brothers and a sister. Three of bis\nbrothers were here to attend the funeral,\nAndrew and Richard Waddell of New-\ndale, Manitoba, and E. Waddell of Vancouver.

The ore\ncarries iron and is of first-class\nsmelting quality. This strike was\nmade from the lower tunnel on the\nNo. 18. On the Duke of York\nmineral claim, drifting south of the\nmain tunnel, a very fine quality of\nore running heavily in iron has\nbeen struck. Continuous wprk on\nthis drift since July has revealed no\nchange in the high-grade character\nof the ore.

Not\nby all, of course,   for  there\nare many, we will hope  the\nmajority,  that are  thoughtful of the aged and are kind\nto them.    Then again there\nare others   who,   to   put it\nmildly, are harsh and   cold.\nIt is Aery natural to smile on\nwhat is lovely   and  strong,\nand frown on  reverse, without even observing  that  we\ndo so; and it often  follows,\nwith   the   young especially;\nthat as they look on the furrowed face, the dim eyes, the\ntrembling hands, the totter\ning, uncertain   steps   of  an\nold   man   or   woman,   they\nseem to forget that in   that\nwarm   and   homely    prison\nhouse, are a heart  and  soul\nwhich yearn for recognition\nfor  kindness   in   word  and\ndeed, and for  a little love,\nwith an intensity that youth\nin its fullness does not know.\nThey must   forget,   or one\nwould not so often hear such\nremarks as,   \"Oh, grandma,\ndon't bother;   grandpa   forgets   everything;    grandma\nwhat do you want to go for?\nOld folks ought to   be   contented at home!\"\nIn our words to others, in\nall our dealings with them,\nit is our duty to stop and\nthink; and with the old it is\npositive cruelity not to do so.\nIt is down hill remember; a\nhill with Steep, stony paths,\nand at its foot there in only\nthe grave. Dont by impatient words and looks push\nthem along its precipitous\nways; don't bruise their\nweary feet with rocks with\nridicule and uncalled-for jest;\ndon't glaze that downward\nslope with the ice of indiffer\nence ; \u2022attdv^oW^alff^^ff'T\/\n;..\u00ab6& ,d&Kffi;,#rJ v: \u25a0-nalst^S.l;-   ;\u00ab,,\nfc^Hgta Qftf- every .,sLb^\u00a7h  -j^nfj\nbdulder  placards' of ^fEHeir\nown deterioration.

The world will never\nknow all the quiet heroism of these\nnoble women who at the risk of\ntheir own lives are toiling day and\nnight amid the horrors and terrors\nof war to save the lives and assuage\nthe agonies of others. No holier\nservice than theirs is performed on\nthis earth. It is like a ray of sunshine shot across the blackness of\nwar.\nGermany sinks a British cruiser\nwith a submarine, and Turkey\nthinks it about time she got into\nthe war. Next day Britain sinks\nfour German destroyers, and Turkey thinks once more.\nIt is said that the war has made\n500 widows in the town of Tipperary alone. Kelly, Burke and Shea\nareOfilling their usual prominent\nplaces in the list of dead.\nThe soldier with his bayonet is\nnot obsolete, but to date we have\nheard nothing of the sailor with his\ntrusty cutlass.\nPoets have sung of the \"joy of\nbattle\" that used to sing of the\nwarriors of of olden times. Doubtless there was such a thing in the\ndays of the bow,\" the spear and the\nsword; but there is mighty little\nfun or inspiration in up-to-date\nmachine made war.\nThe Austrians are still winning\nand the Russians are still driving\nthem back\u2014at least that is what\nthe reports from the respective\ncountries say. Vienna has Berlin\nbeaten to a frazzle for cheerful\ntergiversation.\nThe Germans may be in possession of most of Belgium, but King\nAlbert still has the diplomatic recognition of other States and a\nclean conscience.\nPreparations for sending Canada's second contingent to the front\nare proceeding rapidly. Supplies,\nclothing, boots, war material, etc.,\nhave for the most part been ordered, and are being got ready.\nThe British army on the continent, the greatest that ever left the\nshores of England, and for its size\nprobably the greatest fighting\nforce ever assembled, is no other\nthan the same British army that\nwas being so freely criticized by\nsome people a few months ago for\nrefusing to shoot down the people\nof Ulster.\nIt is estimated that the total\nfighting force that Germany can\nput in the field is 9,700,000. If all\nthe force is called upon there will\nneed to be extensive revision's of\nthe forecasts upon the duration of\nthe war. An army of nine mil-,\nlions cannot be beaten in three\nmonths. On the other hand, if all\nare fighting, who is looking after\nthe means to keep them fighting?\nBritish sportsmen are living up\nto expectations upon the field of\nbattle.One of the first officers to be\nkilled was Major Hughes-Onslow,\na famous gentleman jockey.

The craft was the invention\nof John Stevens, who was a pioneer in many other inventions. He\nwas the father of the United States\npatent system. He invented the\nfirst condensing, double-acting\nengine ever built in America. In\n1807 he constructed the steamboat\nPhoenix, a side-wheeler, completing it only a few clays after Fulton\nmade his epochal trip On the Hudson, and two years before the first\nsteam boat was run on the St.\nLawrence by Mr. Molson of Montreal. Shut out from that river\nthat river by Fulton's priorty,\nStevens, in 1808, took his vessel\naround by the sea to the Delaware,\nandjWas the first to navigate the\nopen ocean in a steam craft. Later\nhe secured the first American\npatent for a steam railway locomotive. His steam ferry was successful, and the waters around New\nYork have ever swarmed with such\noraft, although the building of\ntubes has now decreased their usefulness. The first to suggest fhe\nutility of ferry boats in America\nwas Thomas Paine, who advanced\nhis scheme in 1778, \u2022 years before\nthe building of the first steamboat.\nNot Really Important.\nFor some reason or other, none\nnone of his golfing friends and\nacquaintances had turned up that\nday. So Sandy MacCaddie issued\na challenge to the young stranger\nwhom he saw sitting, unpartnered\nand forlorn, in front of the clubhouse.\nOld Mac did so with some reluctance. But his reluctance soon\nvanished when the game began.\nThe stranger was as enthusiastic\nas himself, and they spent the\nwhole day together on the links,\nplaying no fewer than three evenly\ncontested and exciting rounds.\n\"Hey, mon,\" remarked Mac,\nwiping his heated brow, as they\nreturned finally to the clubhouse,\n\"but it's been a gran' day!\"\n\"It has,\" assented the young\nman.\n\"Think ye come again on the\nmor'ow, laddie^\"\n\"Yes, certainly!\" he remarked\nat last. \"As a matter of fact, I\nmeant to get married tomorrow,\nbut I can easily put it off!\"\njf.r.Vi\nSIR EDMUND WALKER,C.V.O,LL.D, D.CJU, President\nALEXANDER LAIRD, General Manager JOHN AIRD, Ass't General Manage\nCAPITAL, $15,000,000    RESERVE FOND, $13,500,000\nSAVINGS BANK ACCOUNTS\nInterest at the current rate is allowed on all deposits of $1 and\nupwards.

Some of them\nare good, but most of them are utterly\ndefective in construction.\nSir William Osier, professor of medicine at Oxford, says this war will set a\nnew record for low mortality among the\nwounded. Up to date there has been but\none fatality out of more than 700 wound\ned who have reached the base hospital\nat Oxford. The result is partially due\nto the self sterilization of the \"inodern\nhigh velocity bullet, and partly to efficient field first aid.\nThere have been too many hunting\naccidents in B. C. this fall, and all due\nto the careless handling of guus. In\nmost cases it is the old story, \"he thought\nthe gun was empty, bnt there yet remained one shell in it.\" The Phoenix\nPioneer offers sound advice. It is this:\nTake a tip. Never enter a house with a\nloaded rifle. More people are killed\nafter the day's hunting is over, than\nwhen the hunting is in progress. The\n\"empty\" gun is always the one that\nkills the children.\nWhat General Sherman  Said\n\"I confess without shame that I am\ntired and sick of war. Its glory is all\nmoonshine. Even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies,\nthe anguish and lamentations of distant\nfamilies appealing to me for missing\nsons, husbands and fathers. It is only\nthose who have not heard a shot nor\nheard the shrieks and groans of the\nwounded and lacerated, that cry aloud\nfor more blood, more vengeance, more'\ndesolation.
